Overkill

Is it the energy who do the hole or is it the bullet diameter.

Does the energy do the hole bigger or what...?

Some buddy says that the hole/wound channel diameter in the animal is just the same as the bullet diameter.

And some buddy says that if you shoot a moose whit a 577 T-REX 11 000 foot pounds of energy then the hole/wound channel would be big enough to fit a pair of shoes in to the hole.

What is right does the energy press up a bigger hole than the expanded bullet diameter in the animal or what...?

Some buddy says that to much energy in a little moose would blow up the moose in pices.

What do you think guys...?

It is the damage that the bullet does. Broad heads out of a bow kill very fast if placed in the right area. Very low energy.

Overkill,

More energy will make a bigger hole...in your wallet. For example, in a cold winter it will take more energy to heat your house and cost you more money. Or if you shoot a 460 weatherby instead of a 458 win mag to generate more energy, the ammo costs more, again making a bigger hole in your wallet.

Indeed, more energy does make a bigger hole in the wallet.

Where Overkill is involved it is strictly "or what????????" Just how many little mooses has he shot? Or are we his only target? Fess up Overkill, who are you? I have to admit, some of his questions are priceless and he hasn't called anyone an idiot yet.

If you use a bullet that is bigger than the moose, the whole moose will disapear......!!

Or you could just hang around and wait. Eventually the moose will die of age.

Overkill, you are my man (some buddy)!!

I have shot lots of little mooses. You have to shoot them in the arse. When you shoot them there they always go oooWWWW. The bullet goes out the mouth and leaves no hole at all and doesn't blow them up.

Overkill...you are priceless !!!
Sitting here all by my self and screaming with laughter !!

I love that pair of shoes in the hole, and the moose blown to pices !!

You must be having a heck of a good time with your buddies discussing bullets, knock over and big holes. Some Koskenkorva to go with it as well I presume ??

Good golly...my belly are acing !!

What if you shoot a mooses with a cannonball? If placed in the arse will his head pop off? Like a PEZ dispenser?LOL

Is it the redheaded stepchild that needs to be slapped around or is it overkill?
